Bringing the power of continuous improvement to the project setting

Join Us with Project Kaizen

A group of like-minded lean practitioners noticed that kaizen was generally not being practiced in the project setting. We’ve set out to change that and we invite you to help us do that. We called ourselves the Gang-of SevenHal Macomber: Kaikaku
Joe Ely: Learning about Lean
Jon Miller: Panta Rei
Bill Waddell: Evolving Excellence
Chuck Frey Innovation Weblog
Mark Graban: Lean Manufacturing Blog. Our first project was a week-long co-blogging series where we explored project kaizen. You can read those postings along with some additional postings of others on this site.

One Response to “Join Us with Project Kaizen”

Let me be the first to say this website is a great idea! The Maurer book you show as “now reading” I think can be relevant to project teams – Maurer’s belief is that smallness is the weapon to use against resistance to change. Things not changing? Go smaller.

Change for the Better

kai - zen

Small change, everyday, results in big change in no time. The practice is distinctly Japanese, but there are many non-Japanese - both individuals and companies - that have embraced "do a little better everyday."

People in the project setting often ask, "Why bother? The project will be over in no time. We will disband going on to something else. Why should we take time out of our already busy (and behind) schedule?"

How would you answer? For me, projects over a distinct opportunity to deal with something new. They are a great sandbox for testing our ideas.
